| Ken Flett received a diploma in Photographic Arts
from the Alberta College of Art In 1987. He has continued to use photography
in his work, but builds on top of the photographic image through the
layering of various media on distressed canvas or wood paneling. Describing
himself as a humanist, his work has been noted by art critics as successfully
transcending race, class, age, and sex.
Flett moved to British Columbia in the early 1990's and since then
has exhibited in several juried regional and provincial shows where
he successfully received awards of excellence and at public art
galleries province-wide. He also exhibits commercially with the
Fran Willis Gallery in Victoria, BC. In 1996 he traveled to Mexico
as part of the Canada Council Mexico Artist's Residency Programme.
The artist has received several grants from the BC Arts Council
and the Canada Council. He currently resides in Parksville on Vancouver
Island.
